Okay, so I was being a bit of a smartass there :)

I really think that such cases are best left to a window manager that
tries to 'do everything' -- dwm is perfect for one (or two, in my
case) large monitor, and it handles it very well.  I keep hoping to
see dwm go into a 'steady state' where the only patches are to
maintain compatibility with latest x.org, etc., but instead every time
it seems 'done' we shoot forward into crazy-ass ideas like requiring
an extra 0.5 MB of libraries for a 2k SLOC program, just so people's
firefox titles look better.

Instead of porting everything to pango, I suggest leaving it alone,
and the affected users can turn the built-in bar off and use another
status bar program.
